Yes, it would be equivalent but a little shorter.

So while we are at it, what about a new subcommand "git bisect test" that 
could be used like this:

git bisect test good_rev my_script

equivalent to the following :

my_script || {
	git bisect start &&
	git bisect bad &&
	git bisect good good_rev &&
	git bisect run my_script
}

that could be used like this:

git bisect test good_rev my_script || {
	echo >&2 "my_script failed but 'git bisect test' failed too"
	exit 1
}
test -f "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_RUN" && {
	# extract commit and author email address from
	# "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_RUN" and send flames
	git bisect reset
}

Thanks,
Christian.
